One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Conglomerate Accountability

Awwwww, yeah!


My favorite part of the article is the awful truth, which states:

"...But in 18 states that have released the information, Wal-Mart was among the top three employers that shifted workers into Medicaid, the children's insurance program and other state aid, Walker said.

A survey by Georgia officials found that more than 10,000 children of Wal-Mart employees were enrolled in the state's health insurance program for children at a cost of nearly $10 million annually.

Some of Maryland's Wal-Mart workers make so little that they qualify for such poverty programs.

The average wage for full-time sales associates in Maryland is $9.97 an hour, and full-time workers at Wal-Mart put in from 34 to 40 hours a week, Hurst said. At that rate, an employee working 40 hours a week earns $19,142 a year, an income below the $19,350 federal poverty level for a family of four."


Wal-Mart + Governor Erlich = Axis of Evil

SO TAKE THAT!!! How's that for going after "evildoers"?!?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
